After considerations the deal is not the worse that could happen.
Getting star alliance gold would be little value.
- The number of star alliance flights currently are very limited and always short haul (2017: 3) and professional, then lounge is not really important.
- Switching a few long hauls might get me just get me star alliance gold and just make me AY platinum - or I just might miss both.
- points accumulation would slow down and redemption thus also
so I'll stick OW
